March 15, 2008/Brattleboro, Bellows Falls, Springfield, Fall Mountain: The Meeting Waters YMCA, the region’s largest provider of summer camp programming, has announced its plans for the summer of 2008.

 

It is anticipated that, once again this year, over 400 youth ages 5-15 from over two dozen VT and NH communities will attend a Meeting Waters YMCA camp this summer. The regional Y’s camps will take place over an eight-week period from June 30th through August 22nd.

 

The Meeting Waters YMCA will once again offer Lewis Day Camp for youth ages 6-13. Core camp activities include YMCA swim lessons, sports, arts & crafts, free swim, cooperative games, hiking, archery, nature education, and canoeing. All of this takes place on the Meeting Waters YMCA’s beautiful 52 acre property in Springfield.

 

Other Meeting Waters YMCA camps include KinderCamp for children entering kindergarten in the fall, Adventure Camps for 10-15 year-olds, Leaders-in-Training for 14 and 15 year-olds, and Family Camp.

 

Bus transportation is provided to Lewis Day Camp, KinderCamp, Leaders-in-Training and Adventure Camps at no additional cost from Alstead, Bellows Falls, Brattleboro, Charlestown, Chester, Drewsville, Langdon, Putney, Saxtons River, Springfield, Walpole, and Westminster.

 

Just as important as the Y’s diverse and quality programming is their commitment that no one will be denied access for lack of ability to pay full program fees. Through a combination of financial supports, last year’s campers received over $40,000 in financial assistance.

 

More information about all of the Meeting Waters YMCA’s camps and financial assistance is available at their camp Open House to be held on Saturday, May 17th from 1-4 pm at their Lewis Day Camp facility on Route 5 in Springfield. Camp information sessions will also be held in Brattleboro, Bellows Falls and many other area communities in the months of April and May.
